First we'll brainstorm to find out how much they know about it, and to refresh their memory. Then we'll watch this video, which introduces some idioms about FEAR.
Next we'll play the board game that reinforces these and other idioms and vocabulary items re death, devils, etc.
There are "DEATH" cards and "DEVIL" cards, each of which contains an idiom or proverb using the words dead (or a derivative thereof) or devil. A question is asked re its meaning, and the answer is included in the multiple choice. This task is necessary if the player has landed on a ghost or grave (DEATH), or on a vampire or witch (DEVIL).
If they land on a jack o' lantern.they must create sentences using certain words from a vocabulary list.
After the winner has been declared and the game is over, we go on to conversation cards. Each student takes a card and has a few minutes to think of a story to tell (real or imagined) regarding fears, vampires, witches, etc.
